[Commentary] Recently, a women's dredging class in Jinan, Shandong has attracted the attention of netizens.

In order to better help the residents of the open community to solve the problem of clogging and pollution of septic tanks, 8 female employees of the Urban Fertilizer Clearance Management Division of the Urban Management Bureau of Jinan City formed a female dredging team.

During the eight years of dredging work, they did not fear the severe cold and heat, and insisted on patrolling and dredging the septic tanks every day in the open community in charge.

　　[Explanation] On January 18, the reporter saw a female dredging team working in an old community in Jinan. Under the leadership of the team leader Yang Lin, the team members were clearing a septic tank.

At this time, Yang Lin skilfully lifted the manhole cover of the septic tank and quickly directed the team members to insert a dredging pipe about 10 meters long into the septic tank.

Due to the cold weather, the dirt in the septic tank has been frozen. Yang Lin and the team members constantly used steel forks to control the dredging direction of the dredging pipe, and agitated the sewage to clean up the floating dirt in the septic tank. .

With skillful techniques and tacit cooperation, the women's dredging class quickly cleared the septic tank.

Yang Lin said that the smooth completion of the dredging work depends on the unity and mutual assistance among colleagues.

　　Because the frontline was faced with a shortage of manpower at the time, the Department’s Party Committee decided to set up a women’s dredging class.

From the beginning of its establishment, I have encountered several difficulties, and I still don't know much about entering the community. Another one is physical strength.

Our eight sisters are relatively united. When we are working, we will cooperate with each other. We asked the teacher on the team to take us to the field (inspection). After working for more than a month, we gradually adapted to this (work).

　　[Explanation] Since the women's dredging class is equipped with a small and medium-sized dredging vehicle, it can only carry 3 team members. Each time the team is out of the car, the 3 team members need to insert a dredging tube weighing about 100 kg into the septic tank. In order to successfully complete the dredging work.

Dong Jinling, 35 years old this year, is the youngest woman in the women's dredging class. Whenever she works, she will take the initiative to carry and dredge the pipe and assist other team members in the dredging task.

Dong Jinling said that although the dredging of the septic tank was a laborious chore, the warm and harmonious atmosphere of the women’s dredging class made her persevere.

　　The first time I felt that it really felt like it was not like what our women should do.

After more contact, I feel that our dredging team is like a big family with complete brothers and sisters.

There are also old comrades who hand in hand to us, and the whole family is very harmonious.

Choose what I love, love what I choose, do a job and love a job.

　　[Explanation] The women's dredging class is responsible for dredging and managing nearly 400 septic tanks, which are distributed around 320 open residential buildings.

Squad leader Yang Lin told reporters that they usually communicate with residents in the community and take action in advance of the septic tank with hidden dangers.

　　Outside of work, we often go deep into the community to understand the basic situation of the community. We also drew the (often) accidental clogged septic tank pipeline diagram, turning "clearing the blockage afterwards" into "clearing beforehand". Prevent them from overflowing.

　　[Explanation] In addition to solving the problem of clogging and pollution of septic tanks, the women's dredging class also popularized the safety knowledge of septic tanks for students.

In daily life, the team members will also spontaneously take care of the elderly living alone and help the residents in the residential buildings.
